Only 90s Babies Can Name All Of These 90s Movies

Ahh, the 90s. What a magical time. And as great as that time was for us 90s babies, the movies that came out during that time were even more magical. Seriously though. Try comparing the movies of today to the movies of the 90s and see if they are even able to hold a candle to them. Maybe it has something to do with the nostalgia of them, but the movies from the 90s will always hold a special place in the hearts of the kids who grew up watching them. But what made these movies even more special were some of the actors in them.

In the 90s, it was hard to find a movie that didn’t star either Jim Carrey or Robin Williams. From movies about kids being left alone at home by their entire family to witches who only come out after someone lights a black flame candle, to a film about a special government agency that specializes in aliens, movies from the 90s were as creative and enjoyable as they come. So just sit back, relax, and try brushing up on some 90s movie trivia. Good luck trying to name all of these 90s movies. It’s not going to be so easy.

Question 1

What Is This Movie?

KEVIN!!!! Is this one of the greatest movies of the 90s? I would tend to think so. For starters, there are so many quotable lines and memorable scenes in this film. Second, it features the triumvirate of Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern. And let’s not forget John Candy’s incredible cameo as the Polka King of the Midwest, Gus Polinski, of the Kenosha Kickers. Anywho, this film has probably done a lot of good in helping kids to know how to fend off bumbling home invaders when you are left alone. And remember, “keep the change."

Question 2

What Is This Movie?

If your first thought after seeing a reference to this next film is not Jeff Goldblum with his shirt opened up, then are you really even a fan? Nevertheless, if Jeff Goldblum isn’t your first thought, then there’s a good chance that it is probably the seemingly life-like dinosaurs in this movie. Leave it to director Steven Spielberg to create such a visually striking and emotional movie. Even though this was made in the early 90s, I dare you to find a movie today with effects and animatronics that looks as real. I guess what I’m trying to say is that “life… finds a way”.

Question 3

What Is This Movie?

It’s really hard to believe that this film came out almost 19 years ago. Nevertheless, it is still as fresh in my mind as it was the day it came out. Mostly because I’ve seen it countless times since. This Halloween classic stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson Sisters who feed on the souls of children. Once Max, Dani, and Allison bring the witches back, they have to work, alongside the black cat Thackery Binx, to stop them. And to think that all of this could have been avoided if Max would have listened to Allison and not have lit the black flame candle.

Question 4

What Is This Movie?

This next film gave up the crossover no one was expecting. We have Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Entourage. Granted, Entourage wouldn’t premiere for another five years, but I’m writing this, so I’ll allow it. Melissa Joan Hart and Vincent Chase… er, I mean… Adrian Grenier star in this classic 90s romantic comedy. Hart and Grenier scheme to date each other in order to make the two people that they like jealous. While this tactic may have worked, they actually end up falling for each other. Two good looking people falling for each other? Who could have seen that one coming?

Question 5

What Is This Movie?

What is there to say about this next movie that hasn’t already been said. Before James Cameron set the all-time box office record for 2008’s Avatar, James Cameron set the all-time box office record for this 1997 film. I guess you can say his films do pretty well. While this movie may be one of the greatest ever made, people will still continue to debate whether or not both Jack and Rose were able to fit on that door. And let’s not forget that that massive blue diamond necklace, aka The Heart of the Ocean, is still somewhere out there.

Question 6

What Is This Movie?

Thinking about this next film really brings a tear to my eye. And no, not because it was such a sweet story, but because Robin Williams was absolutely fantastic in it. Who can forget that classic scene when Robin Williams loses his mask and he has to smash his face in a cake in order to cover it up? I can go on and on with these scenes, but I don’t want to give too much away here. Anyway, Robin Williams stars as a divorcée who wants to spend more time with his kids. So naturally, he dresses up as a woman and becomes their nanny.

Question 7

What Is This Movie?

I am like totally buggin’ over this next 90s film. That means “freaking out” to the layperson. Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, and a young Paul Rudd star in this next high school rom-com. Side note: Paul Rudd must be a vampire because he doesn’t seem to age. This film has everything. It has comedy, drama, designer clothes, valley girl sayings, and lest we forget, falling in love with your stepbrother. Not to mention that this film has taught us all some pretty great life lessons such as everywhere in L.A. takes 20 minutes, and two permits do not equal a license.

Question 8

What Is This Movie?

“You play ball like a girl”. If you have seen this next 90s movie, then you know that that quote is pretty much the worst insult you could possibly give someone. Also, you can’t eat s’mores if you haven’t had any to begin with. And last but not least, all together now, “you’re killin’ me Smalls!” This classic film taught us about friendship, baseball, and adventures. But most importantly, it taught us that heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Now if you will please excuse me, I have a baseball game to get to. Think you know what movie this is?

Question 9

What Is This Movie?

I don’t know about you, but I think that Will Smith makes this next one look good… That was a reference to this next movie, but I’m sure you know that… or do you? If not, do you know that not only Will Smith, but Tommy Lee Jones, and Rip Torn also star in this 90s action/science fiction film? Or how about how Smith and Jones are both part of a special government agency that specializes in aliens? If you knew that then you’ll probably know which film this is. Also, I have to admit, I have always wanted to own one of those neuralyzer.s

Question 10

What Is This Movie?

If you have ever wondered what New York City would look like in the twenty third century, look no further than this next 90s film. Actually, I guess it would be more accurate to say, if you have ever wondered what New York City would look like in the twenty third century according to director Luc Besson, look no further than this next film. Bruce Willis stars in this film as a taxi driver who has to help Milla Jovovich's’ character in order to save the world. So it’s pretty much your run of the mill Bruce Willis movie. I’m just kidding… but not really.

Question 11

What Is This Movie?

Maybe it’s because I have a bias, but I personally think this is not only one of the funniest films of the 90s, but one of the funniest films ever made. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are hilarious and spectacular as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. And the Farrelly brothers knock it out of the park in their directorial debut. When a suitcase full of money is left behind, Lloyd and Harry set off to return it to its’ rightful owner. Side note: I can’t even count the number of times I have used the line, “what was all that one in a million talk?”

Question 12

What Is This Movie?

You know what? I think it’s about time that we finally got to an animated film from the 90s. Because let’s be honest, when it comes to Disney and Pixar animation films, the 90s had the best of them. And this next film is no different. Tate Donovan voices our main character who must face all odds in order to reclaim his immortality. Not to mention, James Woods does a great job voicing the menacing character, Hades. And I think we can all agree that anytime Danny DeVito is in a film, that film is immediately given a boost in the awesomeness factor.

Question 13

What Is This Movie?

This next 90s film is the first film that ever made me think that the world we are living in is not actually real. I honestly have no clue how the Wachowski sisters were able to come up with a story like this, but I am sure glad they did. Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, and Carrie-Ann Moss star as computer hackers who seek to fight back against the machine world who seeks to keep all humans plugged into a virtual reality world. If that seems a little confusing, that’s because it is. But once you’ve seen this film, things make a lot more sense.

Question 14

What Is This Movie?

Ummmm… I’m gonna need you to identify this next 90s film by tomorrow. So if you could tell me what this film is that would be ggrreeeaaatttt… mmmk… I don’t think that anyone was expecting this next film to be the creation of Mike Judge. And for those of you who may not know who Mike Judge is, he’s the creator and voice behind Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. In this film, Ron Livingston stars as Peter Gibbons who is tired of his office job. And when Peter’s friends find out they’re being downsized, they scheme to get back at the company.

Question 15

What Is This Movie?

I think it’s time for another 90s movie. Alllllrrrriiiggghhtttty then! Is there any film Jim Carrey stars in that isn’t absolutely amazing? Whenever there is an animal crime, there’s only one person to call. Unfortunately, I can’t give you that person’s name, but Jim Carrey plays that person. When a sports mascot is gone missing, Carrey is tasked with finding it. However, soon members of the team go missing and the case gets that much more difficult. And with a great cameo by former Miami Dolphins quarterback, Dan Marino, what’s not to love about this film? Just remember one thing, “Finkle is Einhorn”.

Question 16

What Is This Movie?

If you are a fan of plot twists and 90s movies, then this next 90s movie is perfect for you. M. Night Shyamalan wrote and directed this thriller that starred both Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis. Haley Joel Osment is a young boy who keeps seeing spirits of the deceased and Bruce Willis is a doctor who tries to help him. The only problem is that Bruce Willis… Come on. Did you really think that I was going to give away the big reveal? You should know me by now. Also, let’s not forget that Donnie Wahlberg is absolutely unrecognizable in his role.

Question 17

What Is This Movie?

The first rule about this next 90s film is that we’re not supposed to talk about it. The second rule about this next 90s film is that we’re not supposed to talk about it. I would love to tell you the rest of the rules, but due to the first two rules, my hands are tied. You know what, I’m just going to go ahead and talk about it. This film stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as two guys who don’t like to live by society’s standards. As a result, they create their own underground club with likeminded individuals.

Question 18

What Is This Movie?

I can hear almost James Cromwell now. “That’ll do pig, that’ll do”. What? I’m not crying, you’re crying. I just have something in my eyes, that’s all. This next 90s film can certainly bring a tear to anyone’s eyes. I have to admit, the first few minutes of the film, when the main character’s mother is being led off, is one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching moments I’ve ever seen in a film. It almost makes you wish you that you have never seen it, just so you can experience seeing it again for the first time. It’s just that good.

Question 19

What Is This Movie?

While this movie may have been remade in 2017, let’s just try and forget about that version for a little bit. There. Now that we have that one out of our mind, this original film starred Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, and Bonnie Hunt. Moreover, this film is all about a board game of the same name and the consequences that come from each roll of the dice. In fact, Robin Williams’ character was trapped inside that game for years until Kirsten Dunst and her brother came along and rolled the correct number dice in order to free him. However, they would soon unleash more than they could’ve ever imagined.

Question 20

What Is This Movie?

Whoa, another Jim Carrey movie? I guess when it comes to the nineties, Jim Carrey pretty much owned the entire decade. And speaking of owning things, Carrey pretty much owned this role and was fantastic in it. It’s really hard to imagine any other actor doing as good a job a him. Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a banker who comes across a magical mask that transforms into a green faced supernatural being. And let’s not forget Cameron Diaz’s role as the stunning Tina Carlyle. I think Carrey put it best when he said, “somebody stop me!” Think you know which film this is?

Question 21

What Is This Movie?

Remember what I just said about the nineties being Jim Carrey’s decade? Well, I think Robin Williams definitely gave him a run for his money. This next film was a very imaginative take on the classic tale of Peter Pan. And if Robin Williams is starring, Steven Spielberg is directing, and John Williams is composing, you know this film is going to be a classic. When you think of Peter Pan, you think of a little kid. However, in this new take on it, Peter is all grown up and is now a lawyer. Go figure. And Dustin Hoffman plays the timeless villain, Captain Hook.

Question 22

What Is This Movie?

If you believe you can fly, this next 90s film is the one for you. As good as Michael Jordan was at basketball, and he’s the greatest to ever do it, he may have actually been just as good at acting. Well… mostly because he was playing himself. When Danny DeVito’s character needs new attractions for his theme park, he and his lackeys decide to use the Looney Tunes against their will. When a basketball is tasked with deciding their fate, the Looney Tunes get Michael Jordan to help them out. Side note: Get ready for a sequel starring LeBron James.

Question 23

What Is This Movie?

This next 90s movie consists of a family that is both creepy and kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They’re all together ooky. The… Unfortunately, I have to stop there. Otherwise, I would be giving it away to you. And where’s the fun in that? In this film, Christopher Lloyd played everyone’s favorite uncle, Uncle Fester, who after having been missing, suddenly returns back home. However, when everyone starts to suspect that Fester isn’t who he says he is, they realize that he and his lawyer are just trying to steal their fortune. So much for being able to trust your family.

Question 24

What Is This Movie?

Hey Mr. Wilsonnnnn!!!! Ah, this next one really takes me back. This next 90s movie was based on a comic strip of the same name. In this film, the mischievous main character is always causing trouble for his neighbor Mr. Wilson, played by Walter Matthau. When his parents have to leave town for a bit, Mr. Wilson is tasked with looking after him. And things go very wrong. Although we probably identified with the main character when we were kids, we probably more identify more with Mr. Wilson now. Also, I have to admit it, Christopher Lloyd’s character really scared me when I was a kid.

Question 25

What Is This Movie?

This next 90s film features the main two components of any successful movie. The first is that it stars Christina Ricci and the second is that is has ghosts. In fact, this next 90s film featured everyone’s favorite friendly ghost. When Bill Pullman is sent to a mansion to investigate the ghosts that are allegedly haunting it, he brings his daughter, Christina Ricci, with him. This friendly ghost quickly takes a liking to her and they develop a friendship. However, complications soon arise. I kind of want to give this one another watch now. Think you know which film this is?

Question 26

What Is This Movie?

What is there to say about this next film excepting one thing… Cowabunga!!! When you take ninjas, radioactive substances, turtles, pizza, a talking rat, the NYC sewer system, and cheesy 90s catchphrases, and you put them all together, you get this next 90s film. When a mysterious villain, known only as “Shredder”, begins to assemble his own team of bad guys, it’s up to these crime fighters to take care of business and clean up the streets. This film was so good that it spawned two more sequels. And the second one featured Vanilla Ice and his hit song, “Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go!”

Question 27

What Is This Movie?

Man, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was soooo young in this next film. I guess that makes sense considering this next film came out all the way back in 1994. Anyway, let’s get back to the film at hand. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an orphan who is a big fan of the major league baseball team, the Anaheim Angels. And the Anaheim Angels just so happen to be the last place team in the league. When Levitt’s real father promises to come back in his life if the Angels get to the World Series, Levitt prays for some help for the team. And wouldn’t you know, his prayers are answered.

Question 28

What Is This Movie?

This next film was the pioneer in word of mouth marketing for an independent film. I can remember everyone talking about this film when I was a little kid. Unfortunately, I never actually got to see it at the time because I was too young, but I can still remember the trailer for it in my mind. Moreover, this film used the technique of using “found footage” to tell their story of three college kids who travel into the woods to make a documentary. Unfortunately, their plan to film a documentary takes a turn for the worse… Do they make it out alive?

Question 29

What Is This Movie?

“Nants ingonyama bagithi baba…” If you’re confused as to what that was, try singing it in your head. If that still doesn’t ring a bell, it’s from one of the opening songs of this next film. Come on, you know the one I’m talking about. If you don’t get it by now, you’re going to kick yourself when you find out what I was talking about. Anyway, this film follows Simba, who is heir to his father’s throne. However, Simba’s uncle betrays his father to claim it for himself. When Simba grows up, he returns to reclaim what his uncle stole. And yes, I know that is an oversimplification.

Question 30

What Is This Movie?

Do you know how you can sometimes watch a movie and automatically know who the director is? Well, after seeing this next 90s film, it’s hard not to realize that this is a Tim Burton film. Moreover, you can probably classify this film as a parody of all of those other alien earth invasion type films. Also, this had a pretty star-studded cast that consisted of Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, and Natalie Portman. But what’s probably most memorable were those little alien guys with their heads in those glass helmets.

Question 31

What Is This Movie?

Only in the 90s could you get away with a name of a film like this next one had. Seriously, once you figure it out, you’ll see exactly what I was talking about. If there is one thing to remember about this next film, other than its title, it would have to be that big beautiful orca whale. To be honest, this next one is just an all-around feel good film. In this film, a young boy is required to work at an ocean themed amusement park after he was caught vandalizing it. Think you know which film this is?

Question 32

What Is This Movie?

I would have to imagine that after this film came out, the number of St. Bernard adoptions skyrocketed. I mean, I know that I personally wanted one after seeing this next 90s film and I can’t be the only one. Anyway, Charles Grodin stars as the head of the Newton household who adopts a gorgeous St. Bernard. However, after a little while with the new dog, Grodin starts to feel left out of the family. However, the whole family soon comes together when their loveable dog becomes the target of a sinister veterinarian who wants to experiment on their dog.

Question 33

What Is This Movie?

This next 90s film is an updated version of a Shakespeare classic. Moreover, we saw director Baz Luhrmann take a classic Shakespeare story and update it for modern times. And those modern times, was 1996. And the two lead actors in the film were none other than Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. That’s right, this was one year before his fame exploded with the release of Titanic. Moreover, instead of having rival families in the classic story, this film portrays these rival families as more like rival gangs. However, the love between these leads is just as palpable and forbidden as in the original work by Shakespeare.

Question 34

What Is This Movie?

Mike Myers is one of Britain’s greatest spies in this next classic 90s comedy. Moreover, in addition to playing multiple parts in this next film, Mike Myers actually wrote the script. Talk about a talented dual threat. After being frozen for years, Myers is eventually thawed out in order to help defeat his greatest enemy, otherwise known as Dr. Evil. However, while having to deal with Dr. Evil, Myers’ character also has to deal with living in an entirely new decade where his sense of style and way of life are completely different. Think you know which film this is?

Question 35

What Is This Movie?

I have to say, this next film always used to confuse me. But not for the reasons you think. I used to always think that Tim Burton directed this film because when you look at the characters and the style of film, it just screams Tim Burton. But he didn’t direct it; Henry Selick did. However, Tim Burton was actually the producer and the man behind the story and the characters. But I digress… This film follows our main character, Jack Skellington, also known as the pumpkin king. After becoming tired of the same old Halloween festivities, Skellington decides to introduce Christmas to the town.
